More About Cassandra
Cassandra Chapman will be using the scholarship funds to continue her education, pursuing a PsyD in Psychology and certification as a Mental Health Consultant. With her degree, she is striving for a career that provides mental health and sports psychology to athletes and coaches – specifically with Junior and National Hockey teams and working with the USA Olympic and Paralympic Committee.

When not hard at work studying, she has three jobs at Pacific University in Oregon and volunteers at a crisis line.
